People want to pay as little as possible. You should figure out what your cost is per set/bumper. Then add in what you think your time is worth and what you want your profit to be. Your best bet would be an affordable, well built, and aestheticly pleasing product.
It's one thing to build custom stuff for your own vehicle, it's a labor of love. But you may find other company's prices aren't that far off when you figure out the time, effort, and material that goes into building stuff for the general public.
